Tabbed panes inside panels!!! (not dialogs)

hello,
i want to have tabbed panes inside panels. is this possible? if yes, how?

It seems the best solution to this issue is to ditch the Spry Tabbed Panel and use a javascript tabbed panel. User971824 in Stack Overflow explained the problem as follows:
"I had this issue and it's because your gallery is hidden on page load so the plugin cannot read the container width and height in order for it to render properly. Instead of initializing the plugin on page load initialize it when the user clicks on the tab. If you have any animation on the tab windows makes sure you initialise flexslider after the animation is complete."
"You are using spryTabbedPanels for your tabbed pages. I looked at the API and they dont seem to have an animation complete function so until you sort out that end you wont be able to fix it. You need a way to detect once the panel has shown so that you can initialize the carousel."

JColorChooser : "Swatches"-tab's recent-panel not showing recent color

Hello all,
in JColorChooser on "Swatches" tab we have one panel named "recent" and another
named "Preview".
Problem 1.
After i close my Color-chooser-dialog and reopen again , Preview-panel shows
the last selected ie recently selected color BUT recent-panel not showing any color.
Although on other Tab like "RGB" i am getting the selected color's RGB values .
Below is the code-snippet , Am I doing anything wrong ?
Problem 2.
This problem is not consistent. What happens that whatever RGB values i set,
next time when i open the chooser , Red-value gets educed by 1 !!!
/// code snippet
Color defaultForeground = conFont.getForeground(); /// this gives last selected color
Color newColor = JColorChooser.showDialog(GSCommonUtility.getAMStudioFrame(),CommonToolProperties.bundle_ToolProperties.getString("ComContributionsAdapter_ChooseForeground"),defaultForeground);
Can someone please through some light on these 2 problems?
thanx n regds,
Rajesh

I'm having the same problem with the default color chooser. Whenever it is closed it seems to lose all of the recent colors information. If you figure it out please let me know!!

Changin tabbed pane using a JButton

Hi all,
I'm trying to include a button on a tabbed page that will enable you to switch to
another page.
I'm using the following code:
FlyProGen.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
tabbedpane.setSelectedComponent( container );
However, I get the following error: "Cannot refer to a non-final variable tabbed pane inside
an inner class defined in a different method".
Help!

How to a particular panel in a tabbed pane to the front?

Hello
I have a small application that uses a tabbed pane. At some point I want to press a button in one of the panels of the tabbed pane and then another panel in the same tabbed pane to show up, as if I had clicked on that tab to bring it to the front.
Only difference is I don't want to click on the tab to do it but on another button, so I can do some more stuff through the button before I bring the other panel to the front
I thought I could do this by getting focus, but it seems not to be the case. Getting focus does not mean coming to the front as I originally thought.
I hope this is clear. Here is an example that you can compile and run. I want to get jpanel2 to the front by clicking jbutton1 and vice versa.
Any help appreciated.

Spry Tabbed Panels - not correct in IE but correct in Chrome and MF

Hi,
I'm having problems with an extension I used for a client, so I want to use the Spry tabbed panels form dreamweaver, but they in IE8 it puts all the content under each other in the first tab ??
In Chrome and MF its correct. Do you know about this problem or is it because I did something wrong?
see: www.zorgfilosofie.nl/index2
The other pages where made with an extension but with that script my client can't edit with contribute. That's why I want to implement Dreamweaver Spry Tabbed Panels.
Thanks for answering!

Hello there from down under J
Het was mooi weer, maar vandaag regent het.
Toch zijn hier in deze kamer veel zonnestralen, want het probleem is opgelost!
I searched the whole evening for alternative but it did’t work with templates.
With the js files the problem is solved.
I don’t understand why the js file was not correct, because I just bought CS5.5
Where do I have to put de file so the problem will not happen again when I make another site?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards and take some sun with you!

Spry tabbed panel not displaying correctly in IE , in other browsers it is fine, what is the fix

As an FYI: Adobe discontinued developing the Spry framework last year. And Spry was removed from DW CC. You can keep using Spry if you wish, but most of us have switched to other solutions that work better in IE10 and Touch Screens.

How To use JFile Chooser in a Tabbed Pane Dialog

I have created a tabbed pane dialog. In one of the tabs I want to add a JFile Chooser.
How can I approach this problem. also Do I have to use a JDialog with a frame or can I create a JDialog without using a frame and create a instance from the main function.

I have created a tabbed pane dialog. In one of the
tabs I want to add a JFile Chooser. Since JFileChooser is a JComponent you could add it to any Container like any other JComponent.
Maybe you have to do some init by hand which is done normally by the show*() methods of JFileChooser. Taking a look at the source of showDialog() should help.
Hope that helps,
Alex

Form inside Tabbed Pane

Hi, I have a JSF Tabbed Pane with 5 tabs and one of the tab's content contains a datascroller with an input text field 'Go To' where the user can enter the page number to jump to. When I hit enter after typing in a page number, it seems like it just refreshes the page (I think it processes as a Tabbed Pane 'tabchangeevent' but in fact it's not). However, after typing in a page number, and manually clicking the 'Go' button, it submits correctly (to the datascroller) and displays the correct content. Any ideas what could be the problem?

I would try using static, compile time includes rather than runtime includes.

Use the elegant JSF h:dataTable instead of plain HTML table with a heap of DOM stuff.

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application). Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.

MSI Clock & Information Tabs In Control Panel\Display do not open

I can't open the MSI Information tab and the MSI Clock tab in Control Panel\Display; keep getting the message that "an error occured while trying to run shell32.dll, control-rundll C:\Windows\system32\desk.cpl, display". Other than this, everything else is working perfectly. Any suggestions?

I would also recommend a 3rd party solution. On my 845PE with a GEForce3 Ti200 (MS8851), the system will reboot becuase of drivers problems (XP Pro) when accessing advanced page if I use the MSI controls.
Remoing the controls solves the issue.

Disposable tabbed pane redrawing

Hi, i'm using disposable tabbed panes (with close button) in my program and i'm using following method to update their titles according to what user entered:
//this is class extending JPanel
public void updatePanelTitle(String newTitle) {
        MainPanel panel = (MainPanel) getParent(); //MainPanel extends JTabbedPane
        panel.setTitleAt(panel.getComponentZOrder(this)-1, newTitle);
        repaint();
    }Point is the title gets changed but the size of panel label does not. However, when i mouse-over the close button there, it gets changed to the size of the text.
@Override
        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
            Component component = e.getComponent();
            if (component instanceof AbstractButton) {
                AbstractButton button = (AbstractButton) component;
                button.setBorderPainted(true);
        }setBorderPainted calls inside the repaint method.
Can anyone give a clue why it is not working or how to fix it?

}When you add instance of this to your JTabbedPane, you will get closeable Tabbed Pane with title you specified in addTab(title, component);
I implement method updatePanelTitle(String newTitle); to change the title of this tab when suer submits the data.

Problem is that the title itself is changed when data are submitted but the <b>size of the tab is not adjusted to newTitles length.</b> It is just adjusted when i pull my mouse over the close button that implements action from previous post.

                button.setBorderPainted(false);
}I cant possibly post a running code as it uses third party libraries and implements bunch of interfaces, it would require whole nearly whole view-controller part of the project.
Another problem is that method getComponentZOrder(this) - 1, works for retrieving all tabs except the first one (it returns fine indexes for any tab but -1 for the first one) but sadly there is no such method like getIndex(Component) which would be useful for getting <b>this</b> components index.
Thanks in advance for ideas.

This part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
Hope this will help u.

Tabbed panes inside panels!!! (not dialogs)
